BeIN Media Group acquires MENA rights to Omens Studios animated series
These preschool-targeted series, originally commissioned by Singapore's national broadcaster Mediacorp, aim to blend entertainment with education.
BeIN Media Group has secured the media rights across the Middle East and North Africa for several hit children's animated series from Singapore-based Omens Studios. The deal includes Season 3 of Leo the Wildlife Ranger (80 x 7'), Season 2 of Paula & Pals (65 x 7'), and Seasons 5 (20 x 11'), 6 (40 x 11'), and 7 (40 x 11') of Counting with Paula. These titles will be featured across beIN's children's TV channels and its OTT platforms, strengthening its family content offering in the region.
The acquisition is part of a broader wave of international sales for Omens Studios' preschool content. AMC Networks has picked up Seasons 2 and 3 of Leo the Wildlife Ranger for its preschool channel Jim Jam, while Brazilian broadcaster Globo has acquired Season 3 and renewed the first two seasons.
Chi Sim Tang, CEO of Omens Studios, said: 'We're delighted to welcome our new premium broadcast partners on board, and excited that Leo the Wildlife Ranger, Counting with Paula and Paula & Pals are all finding and connecting with new global audiences, over broadcast and a range of different ways.'
The studio continues to grow its digital footprint, with billions of views on Leo the Wildlife Ranger's YouTube channels, strong engagement on its mobile game, and the recent launch of a Roblox experience titled Leo the Wildlife Ranger Simulator.
Originally commissioned by Singapore's national broadcaster Mediacorp, Leo the Wildlife Ranger is now available in over 50 territories and has received several accolades, including Best Children's Programme at the 2024 Asian Television Awards and a Silver Telly Award.
Targeted at children aged 3 to 7, the series combines entertaining adventures with lessons in zoology, environmental awareness, and teamwork. Paula & Pals, a spin-off of 123 Number Squad!, focuses on social-emotional learning for 3 to 6-year-olds, while Counting with Paula—now spanning seven seasons—teaches numbers in fun and engaging ways to young learners.

F1 movie star Pitt finally gets to drive a Formula One car
Brad Pitt, whose new F1 movie is out next week, has now driven a Formula One car for real after testing a McLaren at Austin's Circuit of the Americas. The reigning world champions confirmed the Hollywood A lister drove a 2023 McLaren MCL60 car at the Texas track on Thursday. Media reports said the British-based team had been carrying out a private test with F1 regular Lando Norris and F2 driver Alex Dunne. It was the first time 61-year-old Pitt, who plays the fictional racing driver Sonny Hayes in the Apple Originals movie, had driven a real Formula One car on track. The cars used in the making of the film were Formula Two cars, modified by Mercedes to look like real grand prix racers. Champions McLaren had teased the drive on Thursday with a social media post of overalls with the initials BP and the caption "It's a Sonny day in Austin". Seven-times world champion Lewis Hamilton, a co-producer of the movie, said in March that Pitt had shown real speed while testing the F2 cars. "Watching Brad drive around at speeds over 180 miles an hour was really impressive to see because it's not something you can just learn overnight," he said. "The dedication and the focus that Brad put into this process has been amazing to witness."
